Detection of low-velocity impact damage in glass/epoxy tubes by the penetrant method

Doyum, Ahmet Bülent
Altay, B
In this study, detection possibility of different types of defects produced as a result of low-velocity transverse impact loading on (+/-45 degrees(2), 90 degrees) S-glass and (+/-54 degrees(3), 90 degrees) E-glass fibre-reinforced epoxy tubular specimens were investigated. Visual inspection, water-washable red dye, water-washable fluorescent and post-emulsified fluorescent penetrant systems were utilised for damage detection. A test set-up was designed and manufactured for producing low-velocity transverse impact at energy levels ranging between 3.5-8.5 J. Cracks of different size and nature, and delamination zones caused by impact were detected using the above-mentioned non-destructive inspection techniques. Results obtained from each system are presented in tabular form, allowing quantitative comparison.

Low-velocity impact damage in glass fibre epoxy cylindrical tubes
Doyum, Ahmet Bülent; Altay, B (1997-10-01)
Types and characteristics of defects produced by low-velocity transverse impact loading on (+/-45 degrees(2), 90 degrees) S-glass and (+/-54 degrees(3), 90 degrees) E-glass fibre reinforced epoxy composites were investigated in this study. For both materials, the specimens were in the form of thin-walled cylindrical tubes. A test set-up capable of producing low-velocity transverse impact at energy levels between 3.5 J and 8.5 J was designed and manufactured. Fifteen specimens were tested from each type of c...
Effect of resin and fiber on the abrasion, impact and pressure resistance of cylindrical composite structures
Kaya, Derya; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2011)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of resin and fiber on the abrasion, impact and internal pressure resistances of fiber reinforced plastic composite pipes produced by continuous filament winding method. For this study, pipe samples were produced with different combinations of resin type, fiber type, fiber amount and fiber length. All the samples were tested in accordance with the related ISO (International Organization for Standardization), DIN (German Standardization Institution) and BSI...
Characterization of tars from recycling of PHA bioplastic and synthetic plastics using fast pyrolysis
Akgül, Alican; Palmeiro-Sanchez, Tania; Lange, Heiko; Magalhaes, Duarte; Moore, Sean; Paiva, Alexandre; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Trubetskaya, Anna (2022-10-05)
© 2022 The AuthorsThe aim of this study was to investigate the pyrolysis products of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), carbon fiber reinforced composite (CFRC), and block co-polymers (PS-b-P2VP and PS-b-P4VP). The studied PHA samples were produced at temperatures of 15 and 50 oC (PHA15 and PHA50), and commercially obtained from GlasPort Bio (PHAc). Initially, PHA samples were analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to de...
Investigation of the effect of substituent on the growth of polymer for 3-substituted polythiophenes via pyrolysis mass spectrometry
Aslan, Evren; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2005-10-15)
In this study, direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry analyses of electrochemically polymerized poly(decanedioic acid bis-(2-thiophen-3-yl-ethyl)ester) and poly(terepthalic acid bis-(2-thiophen-3-yl-ethyl)ester) were per-formed to investigate structural and thermal characteristics. It was found that when the ester linkages contain hydrocarbon chains, the growth of polymer occurred through both 2- and 5-positions. On the other hand, when the ester linkages contain more rigid groups such as phenyl, steric hindran...
Numerical investigation of delamination in L-shaped cross-ply composite bracket
Gümüş, M.; Gözlüklü, B.; Çöker, Demirkan (null; 2014-01-01)
Interlaminar normal stresses are induced with interlaminar shear stresses leading to mixed-mode delamination (MMD) in curved cross-ply composite laminates. Dynamic mixed-mode delamination is studied using explicit finite element method and Cohesive Zone Modelling Dynamic response of the specimen is compared with the experiments.
